Gordonsville council tables thoroughfare plan amendment pending definition of 'collector' and rights‑of‑way
Summary
The Gordonsville Town Council on May 12 tabled an amendment to the town's Major Thoroughfare Plan that would reclassify Rogers Road and Bentley Harris Way as collector streets, citing the need to define 'collector' and clarify rights‑of‑way impacts for residents; the motion passed 4‑1.
Vice‑Mayor Danny Williams moved and Councilman Pierce seconded to table an amendment to the Town of Gordonsville Major Thoroughfare Plan that would reclassify Rogers Road and Bentley Harris Way as collector streets. The council voted to table the amendment 4–1, with Councilman Robinson the lone dissenting vote.
The measure was tabled because council members requested a clearer definition of what the town will treat as a "collector" street and asked staff to clarify how rights‑of‑way would relate to the property lines of current residents. Vice‑Mayor Danny Williams initiated the motion to delay further consideration until those definitions and impacts are resolved.
The tabling halts any immediate change in street classification for the two named roads and also affected related zoning work: Councilman Shane Smith moved to table a separate rezoning ordinance for portions off Baker Lane until the thoroughfare question is settled. That motion was carried unanimously.
Next steps were not specified in detail; the council will revisit the amendment after staff or council members provide the requested definitions and rights‑of‑way clarifications.
